@ioanachichernea
Full-stack software engineer at Betfair building service-oriented web applications, with medical AI projects connecting clinical insight and computer vision.
What I'm looking for
At Betfair, I build high-performance, service-oriented web applications with React.js, TypeScript, and Preact, with test coverage using Jest and React Testing Library.
At Ventivo, I designed and implemented microfrontend architectures that improved application performance by up to 50%. I also developed an ML-driven data visualisation application using Python, Pandas, NumPy, Jupyter Notebooks, and Streamlit.
My medical AI projects include a PyTorch model to detect COVID-19 in chest X-rays and an appointment application using LangChain agents to process clinical information from natural language. I completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence & Computer Vision at Politehnica University Cluj-Napoca in 2025.
My medical background includes a residency in Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, where I developed experience in visual wound assessment, burn classification, and reconstructive planning. I’m actively transitioning into healthcare AI engineering, where I can bring clinical understanding together with software development.
